Back to Racing JP Bleacksmith 5K




After a week with a compressed and sore back, likely due to bar bell back squats, I signed up for this race the day before the event. It went mostly as expected. While I was happy with the effort, I naturally wanted to run faster than last year. The time was nearly identical as in 2025. Will keep working at refining my fitness and tuning my running. Always grateful for LRC friends' support and photography. From 7/3/2026
